Better yet, learn to make them yourself. Get some pickling cukes and soak them in salt water over night. Then change the salt water, add a lot of peeled garlic, some dried chilies, whole pepper corns and bay leaves. Fill the jar to the top and put a lid on loosely. Keep them in a basin in a cool place (not a fridge). They will be ready in a few days and you don't have to travel.
That's a great idea. Can't get pickling cukes in Japan, but I saw them a
couple of weeks ago in BKK. We'll have to bring a load back then next time
or start growing them in my garden here, if I find a seed package in Canada
next week.
